Chapter 357: Front Liner Part II

“What’s Maysa frustrated about though? What did the guy do to make a calm person like her go crazy?”

Manoch sighed at the questions, before looking around to make sure that there was no one around to overhear their conversation.

“Well, that guy,” Manoch made a sour face. “Any plan he’s been suggesting is to make himself the hero of the war. Can you imagine? For example, he suggests having your sister guard one of the crystals in the east, which is the sea. He gives the reason that just in case the enemy invades our land, there’ll be the sea to slow them down. Also, if Valentine is the one in charge of defending, we won’t lose the crystal that easily.”

“...Is he stupid?”

Shindanai unintentionally said that. His voice sounded a little too high even.

“It’s true that my guild is well known for defensive play, but more than 70% of the members are players with massive damage. Also, Valentine’s play style is assassination. Why would that guy come up with the plan where she only stays and hugs the crystal in the base?”

“Well,” Manoch patted his friend’s shoulder softly. “That is because your sister is one of the four gods. Her aura is the brightest than everyone in the red army, right? So, if she gets too many chances to perform her skills, he will be overshadowed. But don’t worry about that, that kind of plan is rejected anyway. Who would agree with him to have the strongest player sitting back and doing nothing?”

After listening to that, Shin started getting frustrated somehow.

He was not so fond of this William guy in the first place. And when he knew about that man stupidly wanting all the attention like this, he kind of got the urge to punch him in the face.

“And after he knew that the meeting wouldn’t let Valentine do that surely,” Manoch continued. “So, he has come up with a new plan by suggesting my guild to be the front liner right away.”

“The front liner?”

Shindanai gasped in confusion. Why would he want Nemesis to be in the front liner when the front liner would be those who went out and made some achievements? Why would an attention seeker like that guy let the others get all the credits?

“You doubt it, too, don’t you?” Manoch asked, “If he did not state his intention after that, I would have been surprised about why he suddenly wanted my guild in the frontline as well.”

“And what does he want from that?” Shindanai asked.

“A good ending.”

“Huh?” The listener raised his eyebrows out of confusion.

“Well. He wants the Nemesis guild, which has Na, Miss Nam, May, and our members who are mostly good at breaking through the enemies fast to clear a path for him to rush in and end the war in the most perfect way.”

After listening to that, Shindanai let out a long sigh. There was an attention seeker like this in the world as well, huh? If he only thought about his benefit like this, would the red pirate army last? Even though they were on the same side, he was still competing against the others like this.

“I think that this plan is just a suicide for the guy though.”

Manoch continued, making the listener look up to catch eye with him.

“Why?” He asked.

“Well, I think this kind of person is only good at talking, Shin. The one with real skills won’t have to be this desperate. That guy’s just a loud barker. We don’t even have to do anything but wait until the big ones from the other side take him down. I believe that two out of three crystals will be blended into the four gods in that army anyway. So, do you really think that the purple head will stand a chance against Marcus or Lavi?”

Manoch finished speaking, then shrugged like he could not be careless about them. Shindanai agreed, even though he did not know why he got that feeling that this William guy would have something in him, or else he would not step up to be one of the top ten guilds like this.

“And if that narcissist dies, that’ll be a blessing to the ears of the members of the red army, since the player who dies in the war will get the injured statue for a week straight.”

“That’s right.”

Shindanai replied briefly as he thought about the die and respawn system in the war right away. Any player who was killed in the war would lose their immense amount of EXP, and if they were killed by any player who had less level than them, their levels would be lowered by 50% as well.

After that player died, they would be sent to the safe zone of their main base with the injured condition and banned from the war for one week without any exception. Also, they could not use a hospital visiting gift basket to shorten the time of staying in the hospital.

“I think that the guy doesn’t dare go fight in the frontline as well. No doubt he looks like a coward, or else he wouldn’t have suggested we fight in the frontline for him.”

“Did Maysa agree with that though?”

“Huh! You know her. There’s no way she would agree to something that exploits her allies, especially not when her boyfriend is being targeted by the four gods from the other side like this. To have him fight randomly in the frontline will only screw us over.”

Hearing that, Shindanai nodded in agreement.

That was right. If it was about strategies, that woman would not be second to anyone.

And that narcissist did not look smart enough to realize this, too.

“They should finish the meeting in a bit. After that, the chiefs like us will have to brief it to our units.”

Manoch said smilingly, before patting Shindanai’s shoulder, making a loud hitting sound.

“Anyway, what’s your position in the Bunny Burner guild? I never asked you that.”

“...None.”

Hearing that, Manoch paused a little, before glancing at the one beside him again.

“What?”

“I don’t have a position in the guild,” Shindanai repeated.

“You’re joking. Why doesn’t Valentine offer you any position in the guild when you’re her brother.”

“She did. Months ago, before the war started, she offered me a position. I didn’t take it because it would be too big and troublesome for me to handle.”

The listener frowned his eyebrows.

“What position was it?” Manoch asked.

“The guild leader.”

PRUDDD!!!

The listener turned his face away to choke on his saliva, before turning back at Shin with widened eyes.

“The guild leader, you mean that your sister offered you to take the position of the Bunny Burner guild leader? To take her place as one of the four gods?”

“Yeah.”

Shindanai replied with a deadpan face, making the other smile wryly as he made a snorting sound out of his throat. The fact that Valentine was willing to give her title to this guy was already shocking, but how he rejected it was shocking even more.

“It’s too soon for me,” Shindanai said in a gentle voice as he walked forward. “Also, if I was to become one of the greatest players like the four gods, I have to achieve it myself like Vincent’s been doing, not by someone giving it to me like I’m a little baby.”

Hearing that, Manoch laughed amusedly, before shaking his head out of satisfaction.

“You still speak straightforwardly just like you always do.”

Manoch said, placing a hand on his friend’s shoulder softly.

“But it might be good like this. If you don’t have one of those big titles, it would be easier for you to go out to the frontline, because those players don’t frequently do that.”

“If Vincent heard you said that he would have wanted to resign from the leadership right away.”
